Holy cow, Byron! Royce, two questions: 1. What's more important, that they tell you what the problem is, or that they FIX the problem? I vote for fixing it. (By the way, the guys in the lab are human beings, and they don't like it when they get yelled at. It makes them even more reluctant to post anything.) 2. Is your big hangup that your stats aren't exporting to other sites? So what??? Your work is not lost. Your stats continues to accumulate here on the site, and when the export script finally comes on line again, everything you've done will suddenly appear at the other sites.

UTC Time: 7:01am Thursday 13 November 2014 NZDST Time: 8:01pm Thursday 13 November 2014 GOOD NEWS The BOINC Server also the AllPprojects.com Databases are registering SETI@home Data. There is massive reshuffling in positions at BOINC, as the Database there for SETI "catches up". Kind regards to all. Cheers from New Zealand :) |

Seeing this late, but I always love to hear what's going on. Excited to start seeing those GBT work units. I wish people would relax and just be glad they're helping to do research that couldn't be done any other way. Let's just grant them some patience and confidence. They wouldn't do this work unless they really loved and believed in it, so at a minimum can we assume they're trying their best? |

I suppose increasing the minimum quorum could be used if they wanted to have more results with the same data. Depending on how closely the apps look at the data chunks. I could see requiring 3 or 4 results as still be scientifically legitimate, & not considered "busy work". What about sending the first two copies preferably to GPUs, and if both return a -9 overflow, send the rest to CPUs? |

Since everyone is so crazy about money, maybe we should look at money. Looking at the page info, that page was last modified in 2006! The budget will probably have been slashed since Eric wrote

Thank you Eric. I've been running Seti for 15 years and all you gentlemen have done an excellent job all the time. Man! it doesn't seem 15 years. BTW I'm 75. Thanks again Charles |

Eric said: Second, because of funding, Astronomy isn't top dog at Arecibo anymore, so Astronomers get a smaller fraction of the observing time. I thought research in astronomy was the reason Arecibo was built. I have a question. When the people running Arecibo aren't using it for astronomy, what are they using it for? |

I, too would like to thank Eric for the update. I have been crunching SETI W.U.s, along with various other projects on occasion, since 1999. The volunteers, and especially the Project admins. and scientists like Eric, do nearly all of this work on their own time! Hence, the reason I felt compelled to comment on this issue. I've read a few posts here & there where people (usually newbies) were griping & complaining about the scarcity of work units and it just really P$&&#S me off! 99% of the time we happily go about crunching the data without a hiccup. And, people like Eric, work very hard to make sure that everything does run smoothly. But, when an issue does arise, a, albeit relatively small number of people, start complaining that the problems aren't being addressed quickly enough for them and that it will affect their "Stats". I just want to say to these individuals that it isn't about "You" or "Your Stats". Most of us, thankfully, see the bigger picture here. And, the majority of us realize that there are a group of dedicated folks behind the scenes. I think that certain people need to be reminded of these facts from time to time. I can somewhat understand those of whom are fairly new to BOINC not fully realizing just how much effort it does take. But, some of the complaints that I have seen were from individuals who have been doing this for a fairly long time. It's to those people that I just want to say step back for a moment & take a look a the larger picture. And, while you're doing so, get over yourselves!! |

I don't know what it costs to ship a box of disks, but I do know I burn hundreds (literally) of dollars per month of *extra* electricity crunching numbers. Nobody forces you to do so. It is your choice, it is a volunteer project and therefore you're absolutely not in a position to demand anything. Have a tissue. Om mani padme hum. |
